Thanks a lot Michellefor ur reply

I dont rule out the possiblity of a phishing attack but since im do
running MailScanner I was not really hoping about this

cause i do see many times MailScanner catching lots of phising attacks but
nevertheless it could have slipped through
MailScanner is a just a wonderful software.

Any way right now things are Ok after i changed passwords of my users

I will definately broadcast a mail for all our users. but as Mr thomas
said it could have been very simple password of the users that could be
also been guessed

Also I want to upgrade my Squirrel mail n do wanna implement the security
pluggins..

anyother advice will be highly appreciated


regards

simon
